Ayia Napa Sculpture Park
Back To The Entrance
Be warned as well, that if you plan on a quick five minute look you may end up staying a lot longer...
And So We Begin
So let's head to the top left corner of the park and start there. I won't attempt to explain what the sculptures are supposed to represent. While a lot are based on mythology, and most are labelled, I think it is best to let the sculptures speak for themselves.
I should perhaps confess also, that while I did start out photographing the signs that accompany the pieces, with a view to documenting every exhibit, once I appreciated the sheer scale of the place I gave up that idea and just let the park take me where it wanted to. Occasionally I will give information on a particular piece, but really, just enjoy the photographs and plan your own visit.
Fighting Bulls
From the top of the park, we shall walk towards the shelter they have erected to the right. While the park has many trails, there are two physical levels that divide it. We shall cover the top area first before descending to the main area.

Geroskipou Sculpture Park
As part of Pafo2017, a new Sculpture Park was commissioned in Geroskipou. Inspired by local history, legends and traditions, ten Cypriot and foreign sculptors have created on-site works drawing on the history of the area and, in this way, leaving behind them the traces of the European Capital of Culture. That's what the blurb says anyway. So what are they like?

As 2018 draws to a close and the weather deteriorates (but let's face it, we need the rain) it gives me time to publish some of the blogs that I have been sitting on since the summer. The main one will be our trip to the Ayia Naps Sculpture Park. However, before we pay that a visit, I want to pop into one of Paphos' own, less well known sculpture parks. So let's say hello to Pant Man...Related Pages

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
